H. Leslie Moody and Frances Johnson Moody never owned the company
outright, but their dreams shaped North Carolina's Hyalyn
Porcelain, Inc. and drove it forward to the satisfaction of an
emerging, increasingly modern post-World War II America. Hyalyn's
reputation for high quality led to its association with top
designers like Michael and Rosemary Lax, Eva Zeisel, Georges
Briard, Charles Leslie Fordyce, Herbert Cohen, Erwin Kalla, and
Esta Brodey. Before moving to North Carolina in 1945, ceramic
engineer and designer Less Moody prepared to organize and operate
Hyalyn Porcelain, Inc. From Zanesville's Mosaic Tile Company, Ohio
State University's ceramics department, Love Field Pottery,
Abingdon Pottery, San Jose Potteries, and Rookwood Pottery, he
gained expertise in clay formulation, glaze chemistry, product
design, plant operation, project planning, advertising, and
employee management. With the aid of investors, his dream came true
when, in 1946, Hyalyn's first lamp bases and flower containers
emerged from the shop's tunnel kiln. Thoroughly documented and
illustrated with 425 images, hyalyn: America's Finest Porcelain is
a complete history of Hyalyn Porcelain, Inc., and its successors,
Hyalyn Cosco, Hyalyn, Ltd., and Vanguard Studios.
